The NSF standards development process involves balanced input from industry representatives, public health/regulatory officials and users/consumer representatives. The groups work together to determine requirements for the consensus standard, including test methods if necessary. After a standard is published, the group reconvenes occasionally or as needed if significant changes have occurred with the product type or regulatory industry.

Over the past seven decades, NSF has established strong relationships with the public health regulatory community. We have been fortunate enough to have public health officials serve on our standards development committees, and many NSF professionals interact regularly with public health regulators through common membership in professional organizations such as the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), the Association of Food and Drug Administrators (AFDO) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA).

In addition, we provide regulators with copies of NSF standards, extend invitations to NSF public health conferences and host webinars specifically for the regulator community.
